The Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) Marketers Association has indicated that it will return to the Atuabo Gas Processing plant on August 26, 2024, to lift gas and supply to the public, once maintenance work at the plant is completed.
This is coming after the LPG Marketers Association clashed with the National Petroleum Authority over its decision to delay return to Atuabo to lift gas.
Vice Chairman of the LPG Marketers Association, Gabriel Kumi, who is unhappy with the NPA argued that the association did not mention that it will not return to Atuabo to lift gas.
According to him, its members are currently lifting gas from Tema due to the maintenance work at Atuabo and should return to Atuabo next week.
“No where in our letter did we mention Atuabo; so we are surprised that he [Obed Boachie, Head of Regulation at NPA] is trying to press the panic button by suggesting that we have decided not to go to Atuabo. In any case, you NPA wrote to us that, Atuabo is undergoing some maintenance and that we should revert back to Atuabo.”
“Currently we are loading from Tema, we should go back to Atuabo on the 26th of this month. Today is 21st, I think you have not written back to tell us that Atuabo is ready so we should move there. We are sticking to the 26th of this month deadline to return to Atuabo", he mentioned.
Mr. Kumi added that “We haven't said anywhere that we are very much aware of the National Security implications of not lifting LPG from Atuabo. And we are very responsible association and we don't want to put this nation under any national security threat. So, you [NPA] should stop this propaganda and concentrate on doing proper regulatory works.
He also expressed concern about the monopoly being enjoyed Sage Petroleum at Atuabo, saying, “I think is about time we even look at the monopoly being enjoyed by Sage petroleum at Atuabo”.
